I'm getting ever so excited for Thursday as that is when I will be setting off with 3 lovely demo friends to London for Stampin' Up!'s 2010 European Convention!

It is gonna be soooo much fun, we had a ball last year and I can't wait to see my many friends I have made whilst being a demo again. I will be taking plenty of pictures and will share once I'm back.

I will leave you today with a little creation I plan on decorating my tree with this year.

This is using Contempo Christmas and the Ornament punch but you can get Delightful Decorations with the Ornament punch as a bundle and get your free ribbon!

I've stamped and punched out 4 bauble images, folded them in half and adhered them together to form a 3d ornament.

Before I stuck the last edge down, I inserted some Stampin' Up! Elastic Cord (held down with Tombow) and then stuck the edges down. How cute is this!Oh, and before you go:

I haven't even thought about Christmas presents yet, have you? I know people who have completed their shopping and just have the wrapping left... Argh!

I haven't planned my cards for this year yet but found one of the cards I made last year which was so quick and easy to make.

They are perfect for mass-producing!

I even used Crystal Effects on his nose! He's a little cutie.

Anyway, I want to share a new service which I am offering. I hope it will help you or your friends & family when it comes to buying presents all year round.Stampin' Up! Wishlist service.

What do I need to do?

All you have to do is e-mail me with a request for a form and I'll e-mail it out to you.

How does it work?

Once you received your e-mail Wishlist, just print it out.It will consist of a 'List' and a contact sheet. You fill our your list and either e-mail or post it back to me. You can then distribute my contact details among your friends and family for them to contact me when buying you a gift.

What are the benefits?

It helps the gift giver to purchase a gift which is chosen by you, although you wont know what they have chosen so it will remain a lovely surprise.

There will also be the option of a gift wrapping service too which makes it that bit easier!

If you want any more information please don't hesitate to contact me and I can answer any of your questions.

This is a really quick post today, I have a ton of things waiting to be done but when the lovely UPS man knocked on the door with a big brown parcel I had to drop everything I was doing and see what was inside... and then I have to take pictures and share it with you all hehe!

Look at the In Colour ink pads... and the ribbon. That 1/2" stitched poly grosgrain (Left) is to die for IRL.

And the ornament punch! I can't wait to get cracking on my Christmas cards now.

These are just a few bits of my wishlist, it seems to be endless but I thought I'd do it bit by bit and hope Stu doesn't notice too much!

Just look at the pearls and rhinestones, yum!

Oh and the heart treat cups!

It's a shame I have to work tonight, a few bits might find their way into my bag to get me through my 10 hour shift..!

If you would like to see some of this for yourself and have a play why not come along to my Catalogue Launch party on Saturday the 16th of October?

There will be prize draws, special offers and lots of fun. Contact me today for more details and to book your free make & take.

Hope your week is going well, I don't know where mine has gone! I really need to make more time to craft :)

Here are some more samples I received from the Stampin' Up! training event in Manchester.

This first one was our make and take. It uses one of my favourite new stamp sets called Contempo Christmas which has this gorgeous bauble in it - which also has a matching bauble PUNCH!! I know!

I plan to use this set for my Christmas cards as well as making some lovely little bauble ornaments (my order is due for delivery tomorrow, I'm too excited!)

I don't know if you can tell from this picture but we punched out the bauble 3 times and folded them in half, then stuck the edges together to give a 3d effect. There is also a matching treat bag using one of our cello bags which would be perfect for some Christmas choccies!

And here are the rest of the swaps, I love swapping at the Stampin' Up! events. It's a fabulous way to get some new ideas and inspiration - I hope you get some fresh ideas from these.

Aren't they all fab? So many talented ladies I'm really proud to be apart of Stampin' Up!

And don't forget that my Catalogue Launch Party is on Saturday the 16th of October at 12pm, there will be a free make & take if you book your place so get in contact today!

It should be a fun afternoon with prize draws, offers and plenty of chat, chocolate and crafting.
